Tea Farm

The tea farm is located in the far west of Yunnan, in the Lincang region, just a few kilometres from the border with Myanmar. It is situated near the middle section of the Lancang River (瀾滄江) and at the summit of Xi Gui Mountain, at an altitude of approximately 1850 to 2000 metres. The Lancang River flows directly along the foot of the mountain. Due to its high elevation and the moisture rising from the river, the area is shrouded in clouds and mist throughout the year. The tea trees thrive in fertile, highly mineral-rich soil on ancient rock formations, which give all teas from the region their distinctive, natural charm. The locals have described the tea as balanced and aromatic with a slightly rocky and floral flavour. Some of the tea trees are even estimated to be over 500 years old.

Character & Aroma

Tasting Notes

Aromatically, the tea presents itself with earthy, full-bodied notes, a delicate acidity, and the scent of fermented plum, accompanied by a hint of vanilla and malic acid. Over time, the aroma unfolds and becomes brighter – a gentle autumnal sweetness permeates the composition, now carried by a noticeably intensified vanilla presence and fruity accents. Eventually, the tea develops a subtle spiced nuance, revealing hints of cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and coriander. The taste begins very mild and sweet, with fine vanilla notes. On the palate, the tea feels surprisingly light, almost weightless, leaving a pleasant and invigorating mouthfeel. A subtle astringency adds a refreshing kick, complemented by citrusy accents. With each infusion, the tea becomes softer, rounder, and more full-bodied – a harmonious transformation that allows for up to five excellent infusions when kept to short steeping times.

WHITE TEA

White tea is generally made from specific cultivars and is the least processed tea (Camellia sinensis), with the lowest level of oxidation. Due to its minimal yet highly demanding production process, which involves pre-drying and air withering, it retains a high concentration of natural tea compounds. High-quality white teas are characterised by a high proportion of aromatic leaf buds and a light infusion colour. In terms of flavour, white tea stands out for its refined elegance and delicate sweetness, often featuring notes of vanilla and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

Cultivation & Processing

Special features in location, cultivation and processing

The highlands of Yunnan and Lincang have a generally mild, subtropical climate that extends even to higher elevations. However, nighttime temperatures can fluctuate significantly, creating a stimulating climate perfect for tea cultivation. The leaves for this tea come from a high-altitude tea farm in Bangdong, Lincang, situated at approximately 1850–2000 metres. The tea leaves are harvested from trees over 300 years old, which grow freely among wild, rocky shrubs.

After harvesting, the tea leaves are spread out and slowly dried over several days. To eliminate any remaining moisture, they undergo a gentle 60°C drying. Following this, the leaves are prepared for pressing into tea cakes: they are portioned (100g), steamed with hot air, carefully softened, and machine-pressed into their characteristic shape. Finally, the tea bars undergo a multi-day drying phase before being packaged.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

1 piece of the tea bar (approx. 6g), 85–90°C, 250–300ml, 1–2 minutes. Suitable for multiple infusions.

The tea is easy to dose, as the tea bar is segmented into 16 pieces (approx. 6g). It is recommended to gently break up the piece before placing it in the teapot, allowing for a more even infusion.

Packaging

The tea bar is packaged in a premium airtight pouch with a zipper and a stand-up base. Its nine-layer coating ensures optimal protection against oxidation and external contaminants.

Recommended Accessories

For preparation, we recommend using tea pots made from neutral-tasting materials such as glass or porcelain to preserve the delicate notes of the tea. A Gaiwan is also an excellent choice for preparation, or for a particularly aromatic infusion, try a Yixing teapot made of natural clay.

Recommended Storage

We recommend storing the tea cake in the original pouch, pressing out as much air as possible before zipping shut. If you prefer to break the cake apart and store it in a container, Chinese tea caddies made of porcelain or Nixing clay are highly recommended.

Test results

We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
